Where do you live in Socal?
i once made a thread looking for drift spots but they all tell you to take it to the track haha.
Don't want to risk of the cops taking your car away

Not street race or anything and I'd prefer not to gbe to pay $$ just to practice

a car banging off the rev limiter doin burnout will attract cops anywhere in a short amount of time!

really you can practice drifting whereever you go. merging traffic, off ramps, parking, every lane change. just gotta see your daily drive as a drift course.

you mean tracking?
PRACTICE drifting when merging traffic, lane change and parking seem like a movie to me.

honestly, you have plenty of options at your local tracks! Adams is like 20 bucks an hour...or friday nights from 6-9 for $30. You can also go to the skid pad at Willow Springs for $40 all day!

There's no excuse for practicing drifting on city streets endangering the lives of my family and friends...its just plain reckless!

Even if they upped their prices to 100 a day, thats way cheaper than reckless tickets. And way cheaper then hurting someone else..

Im a Nasa member, and only do any type or car activity that would be considered reckless on the track. Its much cheaper than a law enforcement handing you a court date for a reckless driving charge!

if they have walls and light poles, then it's not for a beginner haha.

Adams is definitely not a PERFECT place for beginners. Turns are Extremely Small, but to each their own... and i agree with the going to work your race track ! :thumbsup:
